Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical performance testing, and more specifically, to a performance testing system and method for a hot gas engine working fluid compressor. Background Technology
[0002] A hot air compressor uses a working gas to drive a piston, offering advantages such as simple structure, low vibration and noise, and strong adaptability. In hot air compressor power generation applications, working gas pressure regulation is one of the technical means of power control. When the power output increases, the working gas pressure needs to be increased; conversely, when the power output decreases, the working gas pressure needs to be decreased. When the working gas pressure is reduced, the working gas needs to be discharged. To improve the economic efficiency of hot air compressor applications, the discharged working gas needs to be recycled. However, the pressure of the discharged working gas is too low to directly enter the high-pressure working gas cylinder. This necessitates the use of a hot air compressor working gas compressor. The hot air compressor crankshaft drives the compressor connecting rod, which in turn drives the compressor piston assembly in a reciprocating motion, converting the low-pressure working gas discharged from the hot air compressor into a high-pressure working gas—that is, pressurizing it—before it enters the high-pressure working gas cylinder for use by the hot air compressor, thus achieving the working gas recycling function. However, using a substandard working fluid compressor in a hot air engine will seriously affect the reliability of the hot air engine. Therefore, a performance testing module and method for hot air engine working fluid compressors is needed to test the performance of the working fluid compressors and select qualified working fluid compressors for use in hot air engines, so as to improve the reliability of hot air engines.

[0052] Reference manual attached Figure 1 An embodiment of a performance testing system for a hot gas engine working fluid compressor provided in this application includes: a main control module 10, a working fluid control module 20, a hot gas engine working fluid compressor 30, and a drive module 40.
[0053] The main control module 10 is connected to the working fluid control module 20, the hot gas engine working fluid compressor 30 and the drive module 40 respectively, and is used to control the working status of each module.
[0054] For details, please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of a performance testing system for a hot gas engine working fluid compressor provided in this application. The diagram shows the connection relationships between the various modules. The main control module 10 is wirelessly connected to the working fluid control module 20, the hot gas engine working fluid compressor 30, and the drive module 40, and can also be connected via wired connection.
[0055] Preferably, the main control module is directly connected to the exhaust solenoid valve, short-circuit solenoid valve, intake solenoid valve, drive module, first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and torque measuring instrument. The main control module is used to acquire the pressure of the high-pressure working fluid cylinder, the pressure, speed, and torque of the hot gas compressor working fluid, respectively, through the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and torque measuring instrument, according to the sampling period. The main control module is also used to control the exhaust solenoid valve, short-circuit solenoid valve, intake solenoid valve, and drive module to operate or stop based on the operating status of the working fluid compressor performance testing module.
[0056] The working fluid control module 20 is connected to the hot gas compressor 30 and is used to receive the high-pressure working fluid compressed by the hot gas compressor and input the low-pressure working fluid into the hot gas compressor. It includes an exhaust solenoid valve 22, a high-pressure working fluid bottle 23, an overflow valve 25, a low-pressure working fluid bottle 26, and an intake solenoid valve 27 connected in sequence. It also includes a short-circuit solenoid valve 21.
[0057] Specifically, the working fluid control module includes an overflow valve, a first pressure sensor, a high-pressure working fluid cylinder, an exhaust solenoid valve, a short-circuit solenoid valve, an intake solenoid valve, a second pressure sensor, and a low-pressure working fluid cylinder. One end of the exhaust solenoid valve is connected to the working fluid exhaust port of the hot air compressor, and the other end is connected to the high-pressure working fluid cylinder. A first pressure sensor is installed between the high-pressure working fluid cylinder and the overflow valve to measure the pressure of the high-pressure working fluid cylinder. The overflow valve is also connected to the low-pressure working fluid cylinder, which is connected to the intake solenoid valve. The intake solenoid valve is connected to the working fluid inlet of the hot air compressor. A second pressure sensor is installed on the pipeline connecting the intake solenoid valve and the working fluid inlet of the hot air compressor. The two ends of the short-circuit solenoid valve are connected to the working fluid inlet and exhaust port of the hot air compressor, respectively. The connecting rod of the hot air compressor is connected to the drive module. A torque measuring instrument is installed between the hot air compressor and the drive module to measure the speed and torque. The hot gas refrigerant compressor consists of a connecting rod, piston assembly, compression chamber, and guide cylinder. The hot gas refrigerant compressor also has an oil observation port. If oil is observed in the compressor chamber through this port, it indicates an abnormality in the compressor and suggests an incomplete seal. Under normal circumstances, there should be no oil in the compressor chamber seal. In some embodiments, monitoring the oil level is used as a standard for performance testing of the hot gas refrigerant compressor.
[0058] The hot gas compressor 30 is used to pressurize the working fluid in the low-pressure working fluid bottle and allow it to enter the high-pressure working fluid bottle. It includes an inlet and an outlet; the inlet is connected to the inlet solenoid valve, and the outlet is connected to the outlet solenoid valve.
[0059] The drive module 40 is connected to the hot gas compressor 30 and is used to provide power for the compression cycle of the hot gas compressor. The drive module 40 includes a torque measuring instrument 41, which is used to measure the speed and torque of the hot gas compressor.
[0060] Specifically, the drive module simulates the crankshaft motion of a hot air engine, receives control commands from the main control module, and drives the connecting rod of the hot air engine's working fluid compressor to reciprocate. When the main control module closes the short-circuit solenoid valve, it achieves the working fluid gas pressurization function. At this time, the hot air engine's working fluid compressor pressurizes the gas in the low-pressure working fluid cylinder and sends it into the high-pressure working fluid cylinder. When the pressure in the high-pressure working fluid cylinder exceeds the overflow valve's set value, its gas automatically enters the low-pressure working fluid cylinder. The first pressure sensor measures the pressure in the high-pressure working fluid cylinder, i.e., the exhaust pressure; the second pressure sensor measures the pressure in the low-pressure working fluid cylinder, i.e., the intake pressure. The pressure ratio is defined as: exhaust pressure / intake pressure.
[0061] In this embodiment, the working fluid control module further includes a first pressure sensor 24 and a second pressure sensor 28.
[0062] One end of the first pressure sensor 24 is connected to the branch line connecting the high-pressure working fluid bottle and the overflow valve. The first pressure sensor is used to measure the discharge pressure of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor.
[0063] One end of the second pressure sensor 28 is connected to the branch line where the intake solenoid valve connects to the intake port. The second pressure sensor is used to measure the intake pressure of the working fluid compressor of the hot air engine.
[0064] The main control module 10 is also used to collect real-time data from each module in each sampling period according to a preset sampling period, and send the real-time data to the background.
[0065] The real-time data includes: the exhaust pressure measured by the first pressure sensor 24, the intake pressure obtained by the second pressure sensor 28, and the rotational speed and torque measured by the torque measuring instrument 41.
[0066] The main control module is also used to control the working time and related working parameters of the exhaust solenoid valve 22, the intake solenoid valve 27, the short-circuit solenoid valve 21 and the drive module 40.
[0067] Specifically, if the main control module controls the exhaust solenoid valve to open, the hot gas compressor is connected to the high-pressure working fluid cylinder; if it controls the exhaust solenoid valve to close, the hot gas compressor is isolated from the high-pressure working fluid cylinder. If the main control module controls the intake solenoid valve to open, the hot gas compressor is connected to the low-pressure working fluid cylinder; if it controls the intake solenoid valve to close, the hot gas compressor is isolated from the low-pressure working fluid cylinder. If the main control module controls the short-circuit solenoid valve to open, the working fluid inlet and outlet of the hot gas compressor are connected, meaning the inlet and outlet pressures are the same when the hot gas compressor is working, and the hot gas compressor cannot pressurize the working fluid gas at this time. When the main control module controls the short-circuit solenoid valve to close, the working fluid inlet and outlet of the hot gas compressor are isolated, creating a pressure ratio, and the hot gas compressor pressurizes the working fluid gas at this time.
[0068] In this embodiment, the main control module includes a frequency converter and a drive motor. The main control module issues control commands, and the frequency converter, upon receiving them, controls the drive motor to operate, thereby driving the piston assembly of the working gas compressor to reciprocate. When the main control module controls the short-circuit solenoid valve to close, the working gas pressurization function is achieved. If the connecting rod, piston assembly, compression chamber, and guide cylinder of the hot gas compressor are abnormal, the measured maximum power consumption, pressure ratio, and pressure ratio time will all be abnormal. Therefore, it can simulate the failure points that are likely to occur during the operation of the hot gas compressor, expose potential unreliable problems in the working process, and facilitate timely rectification. In addition, the present invention has few test steps, is simple to operate, and can complete the performance test of the hot gas compressor during operation.
[0069] The main control module is also used to control the short-circuit solenoid valve to be in the open state when the hot gas engine working fluid compressor is subjected to the first performance test; and to control the short-circuit solenoid valve to be in the closed state when the hot gas engine working fluid compressor is subjected to the second performance test; the main control module is also used to calculate the maximum power consumption of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor during the test.
[0070] In embodiments of this application, the working fluid compressor performance testing system further includes:
[0071] The cooling module 50 is used to cool and dissipate heat from the working fluid compressor of the hot gas engine.
[0072] The oil module 60 is used to lubricate the working fluid compressor of the hot air engine.
[0073] Specifically, a hot air compressor uses a working gas to drive a piston, offering advantages such as simple structure, low vibration and noise, and strong adaptability. In hot air compressor power generation applications, working gas pressure regulation is one of the technical means of power control. When the power of the hot air compressor increases, the working gas pressure needs to be increased; when the power decreases, the working gas pressure needs to be decreased. The cooling module is used to cool the hot air compressor's working gas compressor, keeping the equipment at a lower temperature. This effectively reduces the temperature of the mechanical equipment, improves its efficiency, reduces damage, and extends its service life. The oil module provides lubrication for the moving parts of the hot air compressor's working gas compressor. The performance of the hot air compressor's working gas compressor can also be judged by observing the remaining oil level. An observation hole is provided on the side wall of the hot air compressor's working gas compressor. If oil is observed in the compressor cavity through the observation hole, it indicates an abnormality in the hot air compressor's working gas compressor, suggesting an incompletely sealed structure. Under normal circumstances, there should be no oil in the sealed cavity of the hot air compressor's working gas compressor. In some embodiments, monitoring the remaining oil level is also used as a standard for testing the performance of the hot air compressor's working gas compressor.
[0074] In another embodiment of this invention, the main control module 10 is further configured to perform the following method: after both the first performance test and the second performance test of the hot air engine working fluid compressor are passed, the oil observation hole of the hot air engine working fluid compressor is observed to determine whether there is oil present. If the first performance test and the second performance test of the hot air engine working fluid compressor are passed, and there is no oil present in the compressor cavity after the test, it indicates that the working fluid compressor is qualified and can be used in hot air engine products.
[0075] Based on the same technical concept, this application also discloses a performance testing method for a hot gas compressor. This method can be implemented using any of the above-mentioned hot gas compressor performance testing system embodiments to test the performance of the hot gas compressor. Specifically, an embodiment of the hot gas compressor performance testing method of this application includes:
[0076] S100, Perform the first performance test on the hot gas engine working fluid compressor, as per the attached instruction manual. Figure 2 As shown: S110, control the short-circuit solenoid valve to open, and control the hot gas compressor to start running for a first duration under the first intake pressure and first speed. S120, obtain the first maximum torque of the hot gas compressor during the first performance test. S130, thereby calculating the first maximum power consumption of the hot gas compressor. S140, if the first maximum power consumption is less than the first target power consumption, S150, then the first performance test of the hot gas compressor is qualified.
[0077] Specifically, Figure 2A flowchart of the first performance test in one embodiment of the test method provided in this application is shown. The main control module controls the exhaust solenoid valve to close and the intake solenoid valve to open. When the working gas pressure of the hot gas compressor is detected to be P1, the intake solenoid valve is closed, the short-circuit solenoid valve is opened, and the drive module is controlled to drive the hot gas compressor to work at speed N1. After running for time T1, the drive module stops working. During this period, the maximum torque M is sampled and calculated. max1 Through maximum torque M max1 To calculate the maximum power consumption W1 of the working fluid compressor of the hot gas engine.
[0078] Ideally, for better testing results, the first performance test should be repeated multiple times. The number of tests depends on the actual situation, but is generally set to three times. If the maximum power consumption W1 calculated in all three tests is less than the set value of the first target power consumption, then the first performance test of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor is qualified. Alternatively, more repetitions of the first performance test can be performed.
[0079] S200, Perform a second performance test on the hot gas engine working fluid compressor, as per the attached instruction manual. Figure 3 As shown: S210, control the short-circuit solenoid valve to close, and control the hot gas compressor to operate under the second intake pressure and second speed. S220, calculate the second time taken for the pressure ratio of the hot gas compressor to increase from 1 to the target pressure ratio during the second performance test. S230, obtain the second maximum torque of the hot gas compressor during the second performance test. S240, thereby calculate the second maximum power consumption of the hot gas compressor. S250, if the second maximum power consumption is less than the second target power consumption, and the second time is less than the second target time, S260, then the second performance test of the hot gas compressor is qualified.
[0080] Specifically, Figure 3This is a flowchart of the second performance test in one embodiment of the test method provided in this application. The main control module controls the opening of the exhaust solenoid valve and the intake solenoid valve, making the pressures of the high-pressure working fluid bottle, the hot air compressor, and the low-pressure working fluid bottle the same, i.e., both the first and second pressure sensors are P2. The control drive module drives the hot air compressor to operate at N2 speed, closes the short-circuit solenoid valve, and starts timing. At this time, the initial pressure ratio of the hot air compressor is 1. The hot air compressor pressurizes the gas in the low-pressure working fluid bottle and directs it into the high-pressure working fluid bottle. When the pressure in the high-pressure working fluid bottle exceeds the overflow valve's set value, its gas automatically enters the low-pressure working fluid bottle. The first pressure sensor measures the pressure of the high-pressure working fluid bottle, i.e., the exhaust pressure; the second pressure sensor measures the pressure of the low-pressure working fluid bottle, i.e., the intake pressure. The pressure ratio is defined as exhaust pressure / intake pressure. When the pressure ratio ≥ K1, the short-circuit solenoid valve opens and timing stops. The main control module calculates the time T2 between the closing and opening of the short-circuit solenoid valve, and the maximum torque M during this period. max2 Through the maximum torque M max2 Calculate the second maximum power consumption W2 of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor. If W2 is less than the set value of the second target power consumption and T2 is less than the set time value, then the second performance test of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor is qualified.
[0081] During step S200, the main control module controls the exhaust solenoid valve and the intake solenoid valve to open. If the pressure P2 is greater than the set value, an exhaust operation is required to bring the pressure P2 to the set value. If the pressure P2 is less than the set value, an air replenishment operation is required to bring the pressure P2 to the set value before proceeding to the next step.
[0082] In another embodiment of this example, after steps S100 and S200, the working fluid compressor performance testing method further includes:
[0083] S300, Perform an oil test on the working fluid compressor of the hot gas engine.
[0084] Specifically, this includes: S310, observing the presence of engine oil inside the hot gas refrigerant compressor through an oil level observation hole installed on the compressor. If engine oil is observed in the compressor cavity through the observation hole, it indicates an abnormality in the hot gas refrigerant compressor, suggesting an incompletely sealed structure. Under normal circumstances, there should be no engine oil in the sealed cavity of the hot gas refrigerant compressor. In this embodiment, monitoring the remaining oil level is used as the third standard for testing the performance of the hot gas refrigerant compressor.
[0085] S320, if there is no engine oil, then the engine oil test of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor is qualified.
[0086] Specifically, in this embodiment, if the first performance test, the second performance test, and the oil test of the hot gas refrigerant compressor are all qualified, then the refrigerant compressor is qualified.
[0087] Another embodiment of the performance testing method for a hot gas engine working fluid compressor provided in this application is based on the above-described method embodiment, as shown in the appendix to the specification. Figure 4 As shown, the step of obtaining the first maximum torque of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor during the first performance test, and then calculating the first maximum power consumption of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor, specifically includes the following steps:
[0088] Multiple torques measured by a torque measuring instrument during the first performance test are obtained, and the torque with the largest value among the multiple torques is selected as the first maximum torque.
[0089] The first maximum power consumption W1 of the working fluid compressor of the hot gas engine is calculated using the following formula:
[0090]
[0091] Where a is a constant, T1 is the first duration, Mmax1 is the first maximum torque, and N1 is the first rotational speed.
[0092] For example, in this embodiment, the first performance test is performed three times. In the specific implementation process, the test data is as follows:
[0093] In the first performance test, the working fluid compressor of the hot air engine was set with a working fluid pressure of 3 MPa (P1), a speed of 1000 rpm (N1), and a running time of 600 seconds (T1). During this period, the main control module sampled and calculated the maximum torque M. max1 Given a value of 35 N·m, and a constant 'a' in the formula being 9550, the maximum power consumption for the first performance test is calculated as follows:
[0094] W 1(1) =600*1000*35 / 9550=2199
[0095] In the second performance test, the working fluid compressor of the hot air engine was set with a working fluid pressure of 3 MPa (P1), a speed of 1000 rpm (N1), and a running time of 600 seconds (T1). During this period, the main control module sampled and calculated the maximum torque M. max1 If the value is 34 N·m, then the maximum power consumption in the first performance test is:
[0096] W 1(2) =600*1000*34 / 9550=2136
[0097] In the third performance test, the working fluid compressor of the hot air engine was set with a working fluid pressure of 3 MPa (P1), a speed of 1000 rpm (N1), and a running time of 600 seconds (T1). During this period, the main control module sampled and calculated the maximum torque M. max1 If the value is 36 N·m, then the maximum power consumption in the first performance test is:
[0098] W 1(3) =600*1000*36 / 9550=2162
[0099] In this embodiment, the first target power consumption setting value for the first performance test is 2200. The maximum power consumption values of the three first performance tests are 2199, 2136, and 2162, respectively, which are all less than 2200. Therefore, it is determined that the first performance test of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor is qualified.
[0100] Another embodiment of the performance testing method for a hot gas engine working fluid compressor provided in this application further includes the following steps, based on the above-described method embodiment:
[0101] The pressure of the high-pressure working fluid bottle, i.e., the exhaust pressure, is measured using the first pressure sensor. The pressure of the low-pressure working fluid bottle, i.e., the intake pressure, is measured using the second pressure sensor.
[0102] The pressure ratio is equal to the exhaust pressure divided by the intake pressure.
[0103] The calculation of the second time consumed during the second performance test, in which the pressure ratio of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor increases from 1 to the target pressure ratio, specifically includes the following steps:
[0104] The exhaust solenoid valve and intake solenoid valve are opened to ensure that the exhaust pressure and intake pressure are the same, both being the second intake pressure. The control drive module drives the hot gas engine working fluid compressor to operate at the second speed. At this time, the short-circuit solenoid valve is closed and timing begins.
[0105] The exhaust pressure is measured in real time, and the pressure ratio is calculated in real time.
[0106] When the pressure ratio is exactly equal to the target pressure ratio, the timing stops, and the timing duration is the second duration.
[0107] Another embodiment of this example is shown in the appendix to the specification. Figure 5 As shown, the step of obtaining the second maximum torque of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor during the second performance test, and thereby calculating the second maximum power consumption of the hot gas engine working fluid compressor, specifically includes the following steps:
[0108] During the second performance test, multiple torques measured by a torque measuring instrument are obtained, and the torque with the largest value among the multiple torques is selected as the second maximum torque.
[0109] The second maximum power consumption W2 of the working fluid compressor of the hot gas engine is calculated using the following formula:
[0110]
[0111] Where a is a constant. T2 is the second duration. M max2 N2 is the second maximum torque. N2 is the second rotational speed.
[0112] For example, in a specific implementation, in the second performance test, the second target power consumption is set to 1900, the target pressure ratio is set to K1 to 6, the time T2 between the closing and opening of the short-circuit solenoid valve is 250 seconds, the working fluid pressure of the hot air engine working fluid compressor is set to P2 to 5.8 MPa, and the rotational speed N2 is 1600 rpm. In the second performance test, when the pressure ratio is ≥6, the short-circuit solenoid valve opens and the timing stops. The main control module calculates that the time T2 between the closing and opening of the short-circuit solenoid valve is 240 seconds, and the maximum torque M during this period. max2 If the value is 46 N·m, then the maximum power consumption in the first performance test is:
[0113] W2=240*46*1600 / 9550=1850<1900
[0114] Meanwhile, T2 = 240 < 250.
[0115] The second performance test of the hot air engine working fluid compressor is qualified.
